Today, I have posted this picture of Lily in another thread:
I just had opened the thread to reply, but left the room first to get me a coffee. I had that picture on the screen.
When I came back, I found Lily on her chair, paralized, the fur on her back standing high in the air. She was staring at the computer monitor.
First I did not think it was that picture, because I thought a cat's eye can't make a complete picture out of pixels and even if it does, the picture wouldn't make any sense to the cat. I thought maybe there was an insect behind the computer or something that got her startled.
I scrolled the picture up and down and Lily followed it with her eyes, then she kept staring at it.
I picked her up and took her to the computer, where she sniffed the picture very carefully. At this point, her tail was all "fluffy"! She then began to check the monitor from all sides, looking for the cat inside. I swear, it was very, very obvious that she could recognize there was a cat on that picture and obviously she felt threatened by it - maybe due to the open mouth in the picture.
Now... is this a normal reaction or do I have a little genius here? :lol
